You can now start snapping! You can turn the animal around and resize it to suit your photographic vision. Shortly after, a 3D tiger will appear in your own surroundings. Camera view will open (you'll need to give Google access to your camera). Type an animal name (such as 'tiger') to Google and click on 'View in 3D' button below 'Meet a life-size tiger up close' heading. You will need a modern smartphone to do this.
For older kids, you could also turn it into a project: to create an animal map, picture story, little printable book, postcard etc.Īlternatively, just send the snaps to your friends and family to give them a little shock - Izzy's grandma was rather perplexed when she received a picture of Izzy stroking a tiger in the garden. We had SO MUCH fun doing this! You could easily make this into a fun learning experience about animals for your kids. The other day, my daughter Izzy and I spent the whole morning snapping away various animals around the house. Little 3D animal fun comes in really handy when we are all starting to go a little bit stir-crazy because of this Corona virus malarkey. Introduced last spring, the ability to preview animals via augmented reality in Google Search has been gaining momentum lately.
